Title: Mitsumi comparability?
Post by: Encabulator on Sun, 19 March 2017, 10:50:48

All I have tried so far with keyboard is Mx style switches so for my next keyboard I was thinking of getting something with Mitsumi switches. I was just curious if these switches would fit in plates/pcb designed for cherry switches.

Mitsumi legs and housing dimensions look quite different from Cherry MX. I don't think they will fit.

mitsumis are not even close to compatible with mx
